It is getting more popular with young Chinese people. From Sept 19 to 20, mermaid divers from around the world got together in Sanya for the 2023 China Mermaid Open Championship Atlantis Station and International Mermaid Contest. Among them, Xiang Lei is a 29-year-old diver and performer in Sanya. Like everyone else, he found it hard to swim in a beautiful way when he first tried on the mermaid tail. “Mermaid diving needs good-looking moves.” he said. It was quite difficult for him to make the moves with his legs tied (捆绑) together.

Mermaid diving is usually done without goggles (护目镜) and air canisters (气瓶). Divers need strong endurance (耐力). In this way, they can stay in water long enough. However, people can train themselves through running and swimming. Anyone in good health can learn to be a mermaid.

Cleary is one of the world’s most popular children’s writers. By showing that stories about ordinary (普通的) kids could be interesting, too, she changed the world of children’s books. As a child, Cleary had trouble learning to read. Even after she had learned to love reading, she still found many books boring. The girl felt like the people she was reading about had little to do with her or her life. She wanted to read funny books about children like herself. When she grew up, Cleary became a librarian (图书管理员).

Unlike many other children’s writers, Cleary liked to focus on (聚焦) real-life problems. In several of her books, the parents have money problems or are unhappy with their jobs.

What’s more, swimming with the eyes and nose exposed (无防护的) was another problem. “Although it is not comfortable, you have to keep your face relaxed at the same time,” he said. Mermaid diving is usually done without goggles (护目镜) and air canisters (气瓶). Divers need strong endurance (耐力). In this way, they can stay in water long enough. However, people can train themselves through running and swimming. Anyone in good health can learn to be a mermaid. Xiang believes that mermaid diving shows unrestrained (无限制的) beauty. “Many people think it’s a girls’ activity. But what truly moved me the first time I watched a mermaid diving show was that there were mermen!” he said. “The beauty of mermaid diving means a lot. It can also be happy and masculine (男性化的).” 1．What is the mermaid diving exactly from paragraph 1? A．A sport. B．A show. C．A contest. D．A game. 2．Why is it difficult for Xiang Lei to swim like a mermaid? A．Because it is only suitable for girls. B．Because he doesn’t receive professional training. C．Because he can breathe in the water without air canisters. D．Because wearing the mermaid tail makes him uncomfortable. 3．What can we learn from the passage? A．Mermaid diving performers must be beautiful. B．Performers dive with goggles and air canisters. C．Mermen can also give mermaid diving shows to people. D．Anyone around the world can learn to be a mermaid. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了美人鱼潜水的相关内容。 1．细节理解题。根据“You may know it as a show, but mermaid diving (潜水) is in fact a sport.”可知美人鱼潜水实际上是一项运动。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“‘Mermaid diving needs good-looking moves.’ he said.

Cleary is one of the world’s most popular children’s writers. By showing that stories about ordinary (普通的) kids could be interesting, too, she changed the world of children’s books. As a child, Cleary had trouble learning to read. Even after she had learned to love reading, she still found many books boring. The girl felt like the people she was reading about had little to do with her or her life. She wanted to read funny books about children like herself. When she grew up, Cleary became a librarian (图书管理员). One day, some boys asked her, “Where are the books about kids like us?” Cleary realized there weren’t many books about ordinary kids, so she began to write some. Her first book, Henry Huggins, tells the story of a boy and his dog. Huggins is just an ordinary third-grader, but the book soon became a hit. Cleary went on to write more books about Huggins and the other children in his neighborhood. From this neighborhood, “Ramona the Pest” became Cleary’s best-known character. She is always getting into trouble. Whenever Ramona gets into trouble, it’s often funny, but it’s also something most kids can understand. Cleary knew what it really felt like to be a kid. Unlike many other children’s writers, Cleary liked to focus on (聚焦) real-life problems. In several of her books, the parents have money problems or are unhappy with their jobs. Cleary dealt with these situations with a gentle sense of humor and a deep understanding. Cleary wrote over 40 books in all. More than 91 million copies of her books have been sold. The great writer died at the age of 104 on March 25, 2021.

I’m leaving home (我一分钟也不想待在她身边。我要离开家)”可知这里的her是指她的妈妈，根据“Holly’s mother Sandra said”可知霍莉的妈妈是桑德拉，故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“Sit down and finish your dinner”“You know what she’s like…Sophie said…She always has to protest about something”“And then they heard a door slam…Was that the front door?”以及“They saw Holly walking across the grass to the old oak tree…Holly stopped at the bottom of the tree.”可知最开始是他们在一起吃晚饭，然后姐姐Sophie说Holly是在抗议，接着是他们听到了前门关上的声音，最后是他们看到Holly走向老橡树，所以正确的顺序是a、c、d、b。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据“She’s only thirteen years old…his knife and fork”可知爸爸对霍莉的离开很担心，故选A。 （23-24八年级上·江苏南通·期末）While the mobile Internet is changing the way we live, more and more old people in China are getting in on the digital world, though they still have some trouble. Yang Su, a 61-year-old professional micro vlogger (专业微博博主), is among them. With more than 2.3 million followers on China’s famous short video app “Douyin”, his videos have been watched by over 1 million times. “Three years ago, my son put a short video of me playing the piano at home on ‘Douyin’, and hours later it was played over 1 million times,” Yang remembered. After graduating from the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, he was a pianist of the Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra (交响乐团). The Internet has opened a door to a whole new world for him. For the past three years, he has filmed over 700 short videos and opened an official account on social platform WeChat to share articles and offer online piano lessons. It’s not easy for him to learn how to film a video, something that might not be easy even for young people. Spending a long time staring at the sheet music (活页乐谱) always causes eye soreness, and he needs to play through the music since he doesn’t know how to edit (编辑) and cut clips. His child helps him a lot later. “The Internet has opened the door to a new world,” Yang said. “I always keep myself busy and feel very young at my age.” However, do other old people get used to the digital world like Yang? Ding Qiulin is a 73-year-old man from Hunan. “I got my smartphone more than one year ago, but I only use WeChat for video calls,” he said. Ding finds it hard to learn to use other apps. ▲ Luo Xu, a post-90s volunteer, joined a non-profit organization in Beijing nine years ago to teach old people how to use the Internet. “While I am helping people aged between 50 and 90 years old, I have a strong feeling of satisfaction (满足),” Luo said. 1．How does the writer show to us that not all the old people in China get used to the digital world? A．By telling a story. B．By using an example. C．By asking a question. D．By using numbers. 2．Which of the following can we put in “ ▲ ”? A．In fact, many other old people have the same feeling as Ding. B．However, many young people find it hard to teach the old to use the Internet. C．As a result, old people have to spend much time learning to use the smartphone. D．Luckily, younger people are building a bridge between the digital world and the old. 3．What did Luo Xu think of his work in the non-profit (非营利性的) organization? A．Relaxing. B．Difficult. C．Meaningful. D．Boring. 4．Why does the writer write the passage? A．To tell us we should learn to make short videos like Yang. B．To show the mobile Internet makes a great difference to the old. C．To explain why the mobile Internet is popular in our country. D．To ask young people to spend more time caring for their parents. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了移动互联网对老年人生活的影响。 1．推理判断题。根据第六段“Ding Qiulin is a 73-year-old man from Hunan. ‘I got my smartphone more than one year ago, but I only use WeChat for video calls,’ he said. Ding finds it hard to learn to use other apps.”可推断，作者用一位73岁老人的例子来证明不是所有的老年人都习惯了数字世界。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据上文“Ding finds it hard to learn to use other apps.”以及下文“teach old people how to use the Internet”可知，前文提到老年人使用应用软件有困难，下文提到年轻人帮助老人使用互联网，所以此处需要一个承上启下的句子；据此可以推断，年轻人在老年人和数字世界起到了桥梁作用；选项D“幸运的是，年轻人正在数字世界和老年人之间架起一座桥梁。”符合语境。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段“While I am helping people aged between 50 and 90 years old, I have a strong feeling of satisfaction,”可知，他帮助50到90岁的老人时，他有一种强烈的满足感；据此可以判断，他对他的工作很满意，觉得有意义。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。阅读全文可知，本文主要讲述了移动互联网对老年人生活的影响。故选B。 （23-24八年级上·江苏南京·期末）Charles DarwinEarly years Charles Darwin was one of the six children from a big family. His grandfather and father were doctors and the young Darwin went to Edinburgh University to study medicine. However, he hated to see blood and he soon realized that he couldn’t be a doctor. He then went to Cambridge University and discovered that he had a great interest in studying plants, insects and animals. Luckily, one of Darwin’s university teachers helped him join the perfect trip for a biologist: a voyage around the world to study nature.The Beagle In 1831, Charles Darwin left Plymouth on The Beagle, a ship that took him around the world for five years. While he was travelling, he studied the plants and animals in the countries and on the islands that the ship visited. Darwin also spent his time on The Beagle writing notes about the things he had seen. When he finally arrived back in Britain, Darwin was already starting to create his famous theory that all living things had a common ancestor (祖先). Down house At home at Down House, a place that you can still visit today, Darwin wrote many articles and books about his travels, but he didn’t want to make anything about his theory known to the public. He worked in his study, where he wrote 250,000 words about his theory of evolution (进化论), but he was frightened about what people might say about his idea that monkeys were the ancestors of humans. He thought the public would be against it and was so frightened that he became ill with worry. However, when another scientist started to write about similar ideas, Darwin decided to print his book, On the Origin of Species. Most scientists accepted Darwin’s theory and people continue to study it today. On 12th, February, the day he was born, Darwin Day is celebrated around the world to encourage more people to study the natural world. 1．Darwin gave up his study of medicine because ________. A．he didn’t like seeing blood B．he hated to became a doctor C．his family couldn’t afford it D．he found it too difficult for him 2．Why was the trip on The Beagle so important to Darwin? A．It helped him finish his study at the university. B．It allowed him to change his mind about his future. C．It gave him ideas about the beginnings of human life.

He printed his famous book, On the Origin of Species. c. He received help to get a place on a trip around the world. d. He studied the plants and animals on the island she visited. A．b→a→c→d B．a→c→d→b C．c→a→b→d D．c→d→a→b 4．The last paragraph mainly shows us that ________. A．Darwin’s book is very famous around the world B．people celebrate Darwin’s birthday on 12th February C．some scientists become interested in Darwin’s theory D．Darwin’s theory plays an important part in the natural science 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了达尔文早期的学习和旅行经历，以及达尔文创作《物种起源》的过程。 1．细节理解题。根据“However, he hated to see blood and he soon realized that he couldn’t be a doctor.”可知，达尔文放弃学医的原因是他讨厌看到血。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据“While he was travelling, he studied the plants and animals in the countries and on the islands that the ship visited...a common ancestor.”可知，达尔文在旅行中研究了途径国家和岛屿的动植物，后来回到英国时提出了“所有生物都有一个共同祖先”的著名理论，所以“小猎犬号”的旅行给了他关于人类生命起源的想法。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“he had a great interest in studying plants, insects and animals”、“one of Darwin’s university teachers helped him join the perfect trip for a biologist”、“he studied the plants and animals in the countries and on the islands that the ship visited”和“Darwin decided to print his book, On the Origin of Species.”可知，起初达尔文对研究自然世界感兴趣，后来他得到帮助去环游世界，并在途中开始研究所看到的动植物，最后他出版了《物种起源》，对应的正确题干顺序为a→c→d→b。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。根据“Darwin Day is celebrated around the world to encourage more people to study the natural world.”可知，达尔文日是为了鼓励更多的人去研究自然科学，所以最后一段主要展示了达尔文在自然科学界的影响。故选D。 （23-24八年级上·江苏盐城·期末）One night, John came into the stable, calling, “Wake up, Beauty!” He put my saddle and bridle on and rode up to the front door of the house.
